Lahore: Lashkar-e-Toiba and the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack Chief Hafiz Saeed and his four aides will continue to be detained for some more days as a Pakistani court on Wednesday reserved its verdict in their detention case.

According to the reply of the Punjab government in court, Saeed and his aides – Abdullah Ubaid, Malik Zafar Iqbal, Abdul Rehman Abid and Qazi Kashif Hussain – were detained on the instruction of the federal government for their alleged involvement in activities prejudicial to peace and security of the country.

The law officer also submitted the report of the judicial review board on the detention of Saeed and his close aides.

Saeed’s counsel argued that the government did not produce the petitioners before the judicial review board prior to expiry of their detention period on April 30 and extended their detention on its own. He said extending detention period without the mandatory approval of the review board is "illegal".

Dogar further said the government detained the petitioners to "please India and America only".

He said the courts of the country in past had declared detention of the JuD chief illegal as the government failed to prove its charges against him. He prayed to the court to set aside the detention of the petitioners for being unconstitutional.
